Whisky bottle 'fit for a King' priced at $1,300

'Precious first fill sherry cask' to be released by one of Scotland's most prized distilleries

The Springbank distillery in Cambeltown, on the Scottish Kintyre peninsula, has always been highly prized by whisky collectors. A new rare, limited edition bottling of Springbank 40 Year Old from Ian Macleod Distillers' Chieftain's Single Malt Whisky collection is therefore sure to sell quickly.

Distilled in 1968 at Springbank, only 398 bottle of this exceptional natural strength, natural colour and unchill-filtered whisky will be available - for $1,300.

The 40 Year Old will be the oldest and best Springbank cask available from the Chieftain's collection.
